Question

Plus sized and pregnant-showing/movement?

Share

Hello! :)
I have two questions, but being as they're semi-related I thought I'd make them in one post. I am 23 and pregnant with my first (rather unexpected but now much anticipated) child. The first one is:
Pre pregnancy, I weighed about 282. I'm 13 weeks along and am now 280. I was wondering when/if I would show? I know everyone is different and it all depends on weight carriage and a whole host of other factors...I (most unfortunately) carry a lot of weight in my lower belly, but I'm hoping I'll show at least a little. So to rephrase, when did all of YOU show, those of you that are somewhere in my weight category?
Relatedly, I know that plus size women can sometimes take longer to feel the baby moving. I've heard people (mainly slender women) say they've felt movement as early as 12 weeks...I was wondering when plus sized mamas felt flutters? I'm very anxious to feel!
Thank you all very much :)
